He's a wizard known all over town
Who, in risible false nose, turns clown
When he trades his balloons --
I'm afraid -- for some runes
He's invisibly mauled up and down.

Satanic sorcerer Dr. Julian Karswell (Niall MacGinnis) in Night of the Demon (aka Curse of the Demon; Jacques Tourneur; 1957). Many compare this supernatural thriller from Tourneur to his films with producer Val Lewton. Unfortunately the producer of Demon insisted on inserting shots of the title monster, the first of which undermines the story's battle between skepticism and belief.
Halloween is over, but not the horror film fun at LimerWrecks.
